Mumbai: Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Saturday equated the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to 'dogs'.
Raut's controversial tweet shows a picture of two dogs that have been compared to ED and CBI respectively. In the picture, CBI can be seen telling ED, "Stop, it's not yet decided that whose house is to be visited next."
The attack comes after ED conducted raids at ten premises linked to Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik and also arrested his son Vihang Sarnaik in connection with a money-laundering case.
The Shiv Sena leader also slammed the Central government asking that when will ED take action against people who have looted the country's wealth and now are at large. Raut also challenged the Centre to send a list of 120 leaders of the ruling party to the Finance Ministry and ED who are involved in scams.

The central agencies (including Narcotics Control Bureau), also probing the death case of SSR, have till date questioned many Bollywood bigwigs and have carried out multiple searches to expose the alleged drug cartel.
Meanwhile, the Bombay High Court on Friday quashed the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) notice to Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut as action with malafide intent. The court also ordered the setting up of a committee to assess the damage caused due to demolition.
Hitting back at the actress, Raut said, "Is it not defamation or contempt of court when insulting remarks are made about Maharashtra or Mumbai?"
Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in his recent interview to Shiv Sena's mouthpiece 'Saamana' said that his government will not be intimidated by the ED and CBI raids. He also issued a warning saying that those attacking him and his family should not forget that they have a family too. Thackeray also criticized the opposition parties and said that they have tried to take advantage of Sushant's death.
The Chief Minister asserted that Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) will complete four more years in the office, adding that this political perversity should be stopped.
